Yesterday the Special Investigative Service released information
according to which they received the video showing scenes of police
intimidation from the March 1 ad hoc committee and a citizen who was
interrogated as an eyewitness and informed that he had received the
video from his oppositionist friend.
"They taped the scenes and we were able to get the scenes with help
from our assistants who were among them," chairman of the public
council leading an investigation into the events of March 1 Suren
Abrahamyan told "A1+".
He considers the justification of the SIS as unserious and recalls that
when the video was released last summer and discussed in parliament,
the SIS was also participating in the discussions and even brought
eyewitnesses for one of the episodes. If they wanted, they could have
seen those scenes after they were released when they had the video.
Let us remind that the SIS touched upon the issue of bringing the
police who committed the violence to justice when Samvel Nikoyan
appealed to the SIS and when the decision on amnesty was already
in effect.
Without Suren Abrahamyan’s information, a person who knows a thing
or two about technology and watches the scenes will immediately see
that the video was taped by the friend of the police who was brutally
beating the citizen with a club.
Let us take note of the fact that the policemen simply eliminated
the scenes that perhaps didn’t show any of the events of March
1. They stole the videos and even cameras of the cameramen at "A1+",
"Yerkir Media" and the ALM television stations, but they let the
person standing next to them tape their illegal actions.
